Iam looking to for some advice.
-What is a good adhesive to put on rubber tires? Iam using 2.2 truck tires, and i wanting to get the most grip as i can. But iam wanting to use readly avaliable products. (No Paragon, etc.)

-Does a side air dam really add downforce? If so, whats the best size for a air dam, and how do you bend lexan??? And does the shape of the air dam affect downforce???

Iam gonna be running my Rustler on a conctete parking lot oval, decent grip, wide and fast layout.

Well wd 40 would help but theres nothing that will beat paragon. And yes a side air dam would add downforce.

What type of rubber tires? Something like a radial or something similar to a takeoff? For radials I'd say GM top engine cleaner. For a takeoff type tire I'd use something like Reino's Ragu/Marinade.

simple green will get them sticky and realy clean..but i don't know if that transfers over to grip.
